My September box was delivered to a wrong address… I emailed the CS about my situation and I’m waiting for their reply 🙁
Have you guys ever encountered the same situation like I did? How would the boxycharm CS deal with it? I don’t want to miss the September box 🙁 This box supposed to be my first box… Poor experience

I’ve never experienced that exactly but they have been good about replacing broken items so I think it’s possible they will right the situation. I do know though that their headquarters is located in Miami Florida so they may be slow to respond after hurricane Irma.

Fyi my Sept box just showed up today and I don’t think I ever got an email with tracking info like normal…in case anyone else is wondering because they usually get it earlier in the month. I got the foundation brush, blush, darker eyebrow pencil I wanted and lippie in Mess Around. It looks like an unflattering (on me) chocolate color when I apply normally but blotted it turns into an ok stain with the natural pink of my lips so it’s not too bad. Wish I would’ve gotten the pinky shade but can’t always get what you want! Lol.

I think their stuff, like sending out shipping info, was interrupted because of the hurricane. I know they’re run out of Miami and they evacuated last week and I’m not sure if they have power back to Miami yet. The boxes appear to be shipped out of Connecticut, or somewhere over there, so shipping doesn’t seem like it will be interrupted.

SO excited about this! I am just about out of my other dermabrasion I got in a boxy a few months ago. I am loving this brand but sure can not afford 80.00 for a scrub!I am just as excited about October’s as I am September’s and Augusts lol actually I am never let down by Boxy!

Soo much YES! I already cannot wait for this box. I know I have heard a lot of people before say that they don’t want skincare in their box, but I personally think as a beauty subscription box, a little skincare every now and then is totally acceptable (and awesome to some.) I love skincare, and highlighters as well so this box is already great! 🙂

Can’t wait for my first box this month. Billed the 1st so fingers crossed for anytime this month. I got a full sized Dr Brandt pores no more from either beautyfix or Allure and I loved it! I feel pretty!!!

And just an FYI… They ship from CT but their boxybabes are in Miami so we should still be getting the boxes as usual… Please also keep them in your thoughts and prayers during Irma and the cleanup after… ❤️

Boxycharm will send a shipping notice. In normal months, they promise to ship within 10 business days of billing. But their HQ is in Florida and was affected by Irma, so things may take a bit longer this month.

I did not receive a shipping notice this month but if you sign up for a fedex delivery manager account (it’s free) you will see what shipments are coming to your address and I see that my BoxyCharm will be here Friday.

Thanks for the info on signing up for FedEx manager for free… I just did & my Sept box as due this coming Saturday woo hoo! I’ve been getting them at the very end of the month so I’m really excited about this! Looking forward to seeing what comes this month for my “variations” I hope everyone is happy with their shipping at least this month 😉

Actually, if there is no waitlist, you receive the month you are billed in. ie, if you are billed today, you will receive September’s box. If there is a waitlist, I haven’t seen it lifted before the 1st of the following month, but it can happen.

I have been subscribed to Boxycharm for over a year. Something happened and my payment didn’t go thru in time. I was a few days late and they now have me on the wait list. I am so bummed. Like really bummed. 😞😭

That happened to me too. I’ve been subscribed over a year never an issue. Got an email saying payment didn’t go through. Followed the online instructions in on waitlist. I really want the palette. I’ll be so disappointed if I miss out.

I didn’t think boxy could top the august box but boy was I wrong! This box looks aaaaamazing!! Ahhhh I can’t wait to get this box! Soo happy right now. Boxycharm really is the best makeup subscription box ever!!!

My September box showed up today I’m super disappointed. The Lippie cannot be described as anything other than poop brown it’s honestly awful and the eyeshadow stick is so stiff once it’s rolled up I can’t roll it down. Got the loose blush which is ok but I already have the briogeo. October is looking really good but this month is just a huge disappointment overall I’m not pleased

What eyeshadow stick did you get? If you mean the MAC eyebrow pencil I think they are supposed to be stiff…I read a post further up where someone used a small amount of the Colourpop lippie it and it came out sheer, try that and see if it works. I on the other hand would be extremely upset if they send me the pink one considering I always get pink.

I have 2 of the age defying one from other subs and have never really used it. Not totally sure why I just don’t love a large grit exfoliator. I prefer an acid peeling one or a finer grit. I will have to try it out again though. Anyone know if there is much difference between this and the age defying one?

The age defying one is coarser than this one. This one is a little finer. I don’t think this one has the lemon smell of the others either, but I could be mistaken. If you’re not a fan of them, I’d be happy to swap for them since the age defying is my favorite.

Just ran out of my champagne pop so thrilled for this. Becca highlighters are the best. The liquid will last forever but hoping for the powder (not like I don’t have enough highlighter to be seen from space already)! I have one of the dr Brandt’s from fff also but love a good face scrub. Glad I came back to boxy for a bit.

They often are in waitlist mode, but I think you have good odds of getting this box if you sign up now. I can’t say for certain if it would be your first box or if there’s a chance you would get Septembers, though.

Leena, if you don;t like it, then just sell it or trade it for another item. I learned that a few months back and it makes me relax so much more about what I am getting. No need to worry, just trade or sell it. Heck, I love Dr, Brandt and I might even be interested in buying it from you come box delivery time,

Me too!! I think we are in the minority with wanting the liquid highlight but I have so many powder ones and not a single liquid that this high end one would be great to try. Just these two items makes the box 90 dollars. Boxybaby I don’t know how you do it but I ❤️ it!!!

I’ve used both and think they are very similar. It’s my understanding that the pore refiner has some ingredients specifically targeted for large pores/acne prone skin (such as salicylic acid), and I think the exfoliating particles may be slightly larger.

After using both I personally prefer the PoreDermabrasion but to be honest I couldn’t have told you the difference in the 2 so I looked it up….”the physical exfoliator is the same micro-size pharmaceutical grade aluminum crystal, but because of the lime extract and salicylic acid, the exfoliator feels more abrasive” the PoreDermabrasion is more for oily/problematic skin and is suppose to help mattify. I personally didn’t feel it was more abrasive than the other and didn’t really seem to tingle more but it maybe worth a patch test if you have very sensitive skin? hope that helps.
